Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 29,1904. Serial No. 218,744..

Patented Dec. 5, 1905.

1'0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN C. ABERNETHY,

Referring to the drawing, 1 is a stem for' inserting the capsule 2 into the urethra. The

capsule is on the distal end of the stem and is of a flexible and elastic material easily ruptured by external pressure, said capsule containing a solution having medicinal properties. The capsule is introduced into the urethra and is then ruptured by external pressure, thereby liberating a medicinal solution to internally apply the same. The stem 1 is of suflicient stability to support the pressure necessary for forcing the elastic bulb end containing the solution into the urethra. After the capsule has been ruptured by external pressure it is withdrawn. leaving the solution applied.

7 What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In an intra-urethral applicator, a stem, and an imperforate. easily-ruptured and flexible capsule permanently secured to one end of the stem and containing a medicinal solution.

The foregoing specification signed at Orlando, Florida, this 3d day of March, 1905.
